Transitioning Your Jewellery from Winter to Spring

Your wardrobe isn’t the only thing due for a spring refresh, your jewellery box could use a little shake-up too. With those chunky winter layers out of the picture, your accessories need to start pulling their weight. No more hiding under knitwear; they can finally take centre stage.

With a few simple swaps, your jewellery will feel as fresh as your wardrobe—no drastic changes required. Trade heavy links for delicate chains, swap deep winter tones for softer hues, and suddenly your jewellery feels as light and fresh as the season itself.

And if you do fancy adding something new to your jewellery box, you know where to look.

Lighten Up: Swap Heavy for Delicate

Winter is all about piling on the layers, and your jewellery has had to fight for its life to get any attention. But now that spring is here, things can relax a little—including your accessories. No need to strip everything back completely; you can still play around with layering. Just go for more subtle combinations that don’t weigh you down. Keep it minimal and let each piece shine.

• Trade thick chains for delicate necklaces.
• Scale back the ring stacks and let one or two statement pieces do the talking.
• Give your ears a break—one dainty pair of earrings is more than enough.

Colour Shift: Introduce Softer Colours

Garnet, onyx, emerald—winter’s jewel tones have had their moment, but spring is calling for a change of colour. It’s time to swap them out for a softer take on statement pieces. Pastel gemstones and colourful enamel are practically begging to be worn right now. Gold has that warm, sun-kissed glow that fits the season perfectly, but silver is trending—both are great for spring, so take your pick!

• Soften dark stones by pairing them with lighter outfits.
• Love bold colours? Balance them with neutrals to keep things wearable.
• Gemstones are a perfect transition piece: classic, elegant, and seasonless.

Seasonal Style: Wear Nature-Inspired Designs

As winter winds down and flowers start blooming, floral and nature-inspired jewellery just makes sense right now. If you’re looking for an easy way to refresh your jewellery box, go for delicate floral designs, organic textures, and nature-themed charms. Enamel jewellery is especially great for spring—it adds a pop of colour without being too much, which is perfect for this time of year.

• Go for textured, organic finishes instead of sleek, polished metals.
• Choose organic shapes or subtle floral designs.
• Try botanical details and nature-inspired charms.

Added Textured: Experiment With Metals

Winter jewellery tends to have a moodier, heavier feel, with matte finishes, oxidised silver, chunky metalwork. Spring, on the other hand, is all having an easy, breezy, laid-back style—and a little extra shine. A polished or lightly textured metal feels more in line with the season’s vibe. Mixing metals is the easiest way to achieve this without having to pick between gold or silver.

• Gold-filled pieces add warmth and brightness.
• Shiny silver keeps things feeling crisp and modern.
• Mixed metals make for an easy transition if you’re indecisive (no shame).

Seasonless Staples: Choose Versatile, Everyday Pieces

Not in the mood for a full jewellery overhaul? Fair enough. Stick to versatile, go-with-everything pieces that work all year-round. A classic pair of hoops, a fine chain necklace, or a sleek stacking ring set will fit right into your existing wardrobe. These jewellery staples are versatile enough to go from winter to spring without skipping a beat.

• Fine chain necklaces that add just the right amount of detail.
• Minimalist rings that look great solo or stacked for a playful touch.
• Small hoops, simple studs, and delicate stacking rings for easy everyday wear.
